Keyword: VLSI job roles in India
Introduction
The demand for skilled VLSI professionals is growing rapidly, especially in India where the semiconductor ecosystem is receiving massive government and private sector support. If you’re considering enrolling in a VLSI Physical Design course, it’s important to understand what kind of job roles you can land after completing the training.
In this blog, we’ll explore the top job profiles available in the VLSI domain after training and what each role entails.
1. Physical Design Engineer
This is the most common role after VLSI training. A Physical Design Engineer is responsible for:
- Floorplanning, placement, routing
- Power planning, clock tree synthesis
- Timing closure and design sign-off
Entry-level salary: ₹5–8 LPA
Mid-level (5–7 yrs): ₹15–25 LPA
2. STA (Static Timing Analysis) Engineer
STA Engineers specialize in ensuring the design meets timing requirements. Tasks include:
- Analyzing setup and hold violations
- Using tools like PrimeTime
- Working closely with RTL and PD teams
Salary Range: ₹6–20 LPA depending on experience
3. DFT (Design for Testability) Engineer
These engineers make sure chips are testable after fabrication. Responsibilities:
- Scan insertion and ATPG pattern generation
- Boundary scan and BIST implementation
Salary Range: ₹5–15 LPA for 1–5 years of experience
4. RTL to GDSII Flow Engineer
This hybrid role involves managing the complete physical design flow:
- RTL integration to final GDSII file
- Working on multiple EDA tools
- Verifying design specs, power, and timing
Ideal for candidates trained across the full PD flow
5. Layout Engineer (Analog/Mixed Signal)
For those interested in analog design:
- Designing layout for analog blocks
- Matching, parasitic extraction
More common in companies focusing on analog/mixed-signal ICs.
